sometimes i just sit back and think homiee
what my life woulda really
been like if it wasn't for my momma
probally be dead or in a jam if it wasn't for my momma
probally be sittin off in a pin if it wasn't for my momma
i wouldn't be strong as i am if it wasn't for my momma
and life i wouldn't understand if it wasn't for my momma
probally be dead or in a jam if it wasn't for my momma
probally be sittin off in a pin if it wasn't for my momma
i wouldn't be strong as i am if it wasn't for my momma
and life i wouldn't understand if it wasn't for my momma
daddy left and momma stayed
and she raised the boys showed us how to survive
when times get hard hustle when you want the things you can't afford
here something too many times then don't ignore it without the bad the good you couldn't enjoy it
loyalty when it's broke you can't restore it
problems is apart of life that you can't avoid
mama said in life everything can't be important she kept it simple when she said life was all about choices
too many friends mama said equals too many voices in life you gotta learn how to walk before you can ride horses i guess i wouldn't be me
if mama got an abortion
probally be dead or in a jam if it wasn't for my momma
probally be sittin off in a pin if it wasn't for my momma
i wouldn't be strong as i am if it wasn't for my momma
and life i wouldn't understand if it wasn't for my momma

i neva loved a woman
as much as i love my girl she neva showered me with gifts she showed me the world she taught me things about life
more valuable than pearls i thank my daddy for haulin ass cause it made us more sterle
my momma slogan you ain't grown till ya payin ya own bills
a real man love his family and he work and he live some things
momma use to say i can hear in my ears
she told me don't call em ya friend till ya know who they is and if you hurt someone you love you wipe away they tears
you lookin for love in these streets this ain't where it is and people remember you in life off the things you did your heart go always be judged
off the things you give she said if you got em betta neva show the world your fears this world don't wanna see you happy they'd rather see you in tears
she said in minutes you can destroy what you built in years
years she told me whateva you do die smart and real

she ain't have time to spend with us
cause she had three jobs my brotha tried to help us out so he went out and he rob
to watch my daddy make you cry it hurt me in my heart
the only way i think you made it cause you beleived in god
i needed collateral on my bonds so you put up ya
house the only reason that you did it cause you love ya child
and when these streets tried to break me
you made me smile you
loved both of us
the same regardless how wild
i'm grown now but i still won't curse in ya house
my brother kids

just like ya child when lost granny guess what you held us down
between me and bro we hopee we made you proud
